Those who cannot understand His Real Being,
only malign Him, as you have seen. Those people
have seen only His terrific appearance with His
floral body smeared in ash and adorned with bones !

Notes

1. How many misconceptions are there with people
about the worship of Lord shiva ?! Living in complete
ignorance about the Lord, Who would provide them the
ultimate prize - the Eternal Bliss ! Those who shy
away from It are the ones who get lost in the surface
level things and who never bothered to think a bit more
in pursuit. But those who are wise would never leave
this Lord come what may be. (ubAyam idhuvE madhiyAgum).
